SOLD OUT: PostSecret creator Frank Warren
(Special Events)
SOLD OUT: Tickets for this event are no longer available for sale.
Author Frank Warren is the creator of the blog phenomenon PostSecret Project, a collection of highly personal and artfully decorated postcards mailed anonymously from around the world, displaying the soulful secrets we never voice. The website for PostSecret is one of the most popular on the web, and has been featured prominently in the media in USA Today, on the Today Show, 20/20, CNN, MSNBC, CBC, NPR, and FOX News. In 2009, Forbes listed Frank Warren as the 4th most influential person on the internet. Recently the PostSecret website received its 250,000,000 hit and was named Weblog of the Year at the Seventh Annual Weblog Awards.
PostSecret originated from a community art project based on a simple concept: asking people to anonymously send a secret on a decorated postcard. Since November 2004, Warren has received more than 400,000 postcards, with secrets spanning from sexual taboos and criminal activity to confessions of secret beliefs, hidden acts of kindness, shocking habits and fears. Frank Warren thinks of PostSecret as a safe and anonymous place where people can hear unheard voices and share untold stories.
Frank Warren has released several books based on the project, including The New York Times best-seller, PostSecret: Extraordinary Confessions from Ordinary Lives. In October 2009, he will release the fifth PostSecret book, PostSecret: Confessions on Life, Death, and God. Today, Warren travels throughout the country as part of PostSecret, and continually adds to the project exploring the hidden secrets inside us all.
This event will include a multi-media presentation, Q&A and book signing.
Doors will open at 7 p.m.
Tickets available for purchase online at www.utatickets.com or from Student Activities (B140, UC) beginning on September 14th.
